Two skiers from Estonia have died in an avalanche accident in the French Alps. According to rescuers, the two were buried on Sunday while off the slopes in Val d’Isère.
Four men who were in the same group as the Estonians were able to free themselves from the snow masses themselves or with the help of mountain rescuers. According to the information, the two fatalities were only found by sniffer dogs after 40 and 50 minutes.
